"A Brooklyn school was evacuated Tuesday morning after someone from California phoned in a bomb threat, officials said. Administrators at I.S. 49, the William Gaynor Intermediate School, on Graham Ave. near Scholes St., in East Williamsburg - just two blocks from the Grand St. Campus, which houses three high schools - ordered the school evacuated after the threat was made around 8:30 a.m., cops said. The phone call, police said, came from California. The threat was made to the New York State Police."
"The school, an NYPD spokesman said, was evacuated "out of an abundance of caution." NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers and K-9 dogs searched the building, but found nothing, cops said. No injuries were reported. Students were allowed back inside the school around 10 a.m. Cops were tracking the menacing call back to its source in an attempt to find out who placed it."
